En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Lacapelle-Marival, in the Lot, was attached to the seigneury of Lacapelle, which depended on the barony of Cardaillac from the late thirteenth century. Its rectangular keep, crowned with machicolations and corner turrets, dates from the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century and is said to be the work of Astorg de Cardaillac. A secondary residential wing, flanked by two round towers to the south, was extensively remodelled around the second quarter of the seventeenth century: a staircase with straight flights, large rectangular windows, and an additional storey. The château retains remarkable wall paintings and a painted ceiling. The seigneury was raised to a marquisate in 1645 for Henri-Victor de Cardaillac. Sold in 1732 to Marshal Loupiac de La Devèze, then passed to other owners, it was looted in 1789. It has been listed as a monument historique since 24 January 1939.
